2009 Vauxhall Corsa Review in 2023 - The 2nd Best First Car for Teenagers...

Wondering what car to buy as a first car? I'm not because I have a Golf. However, if you're not quite so settled in your choice then this could be a great option - a Vauxhall Corsa! It's a great little car (mostly) and I go over it all in the video to hopefully help you decide whether it's the (first) car for you. Hope it's some help and hope you enjoy! This was a good fun video to film and I must say a HUGE thank you to Ben who allowed me to film his car and went out of his way to be an absolute beast, making this whole video possible. Massive thanks to / @tioram . for his help too, expert videography as usual, make sure to check out his channel via the link above. Like I say at the end of the video I may continue the first car series, let me know if you want anything in particular!
I'm also not liable if you do buy a corsa and it blows up, consider this some unprofessional advice from your mate (tho I don't think corsas are too well known for blowing up, so should be all good).

literally saw this video by accident whilst waiting for my own video to upload and i have not laughed at a video on here as much as i have this one in a while. keep up the great work as this is hands down the most truthful review on an opel / vauxhall spanish product corsa d i have seen :D

[@RHanson.]

Thank you appreciate it!! :)

[@corsik737]

No, it's not the best first car for teenagers, it's the best car in the world for everyone 😍😍😍

Other than a Golf!!

Your channel needs more recognition. Don’t stop the vids

[@RHanson.]

Thank you, I won't! :)

[@cheekibreeki6321]

Just ran into this video being suggested to me due to the fact I believe I’m going to end up driving a 2009 1.4 petrol Astra as my first car, I absolutely loved the jokes and the skits woven into factual information. Then I was gob smacked by the fact you don’t have nearly as many subscribers as I thought you would. Stick with it and you will hit gold, no doubt about it.

[@RHanson.]

Thank you!! Really appreciate it, I'll keep at it.

[@llbb7_]

hopefully getting one as my first car soon looks alright

[@RHanson.]

Enjoy!

[@mattle841]

I've got a 2011 Corsa for my first car. 87k miles. 5 door. 1.4 so the insurance is very high 😅. But it's a great car and once the insurance starts to go down it will be very economical for me.

[@whitemarmite]

just found this channel, great review, so keep up the good work. just a little jarring to watch with all the camera cuts.

[@RHanson.]

Thanks! And good to know, I'll bear it in mind for future videos.

[@rhodakasoma381]

Almost purchasing this for my first but hoping for reliability 😊

[@RHanson.]

Good luck, enjoy! :)

[@fletchcruickshank1701]

Heard the SXI is a vast improvement on this regular Corsa, it doesn't have a speed warning that sounds like a carbon monoxide detector when at 70mph

[@RHanson.]

That does sounds like an upgrade, I heard Whitney Houston was a big fan of SXIs too...

[@Mattlawton-ft6ew]

​@@RHanson.The fiesta is miles better also looks alot better

[@mohamednawar1584]

This guy is criminally underrated.

[@RHanson.]

Appreciate it :)

[@Tioram.]

Corsa vs Golf drag race, who would win?

[@RHanson.]

On paper the golf and on tarmac it'll probably depend on which breaks last (golf?!?!).

[@Matti6950]

If this is a petrol, the sound at 2:46 is REALLY bad unless it's tuned with sound change. The Petrol opel engine is SO clean in noise that this would have to be an engine getting into the trash state to make such a bad sound (super old cars with no repeated repairs). Or maybe 3 cilinder 65hp but that ons is damn rare (and if you drive normal revs no way it makes that sound). Ps i love mine.

[@r32mk4g]

just bought one entirely for the city 2 days ago... a red corsa D, 1.4, 2006, only the colour gives 50 more hp ;)

[@RHanson.]

Ayy nice, enjoy!

[@Mattlawton-ft6ew]

Should have got the fiesta

[@Professional_Youtube_Commenter]

the car is so small when i saw the clip of you sitting on the driver seat I thought it was a LHD car because it looked like you were in the NS

[@RHanson.]

Ok

[@fireballoontv9932]

Looking to buy a 2008 Corsa Club, automatic. 1.2k purchase price, is it worth it? 95k miles, not moved in a year... Everyone tells me automatic repairs are more expensive, how true is this?

[@RHanson.]

That's a pretty decent price! Mileage is okay... Not moving in a year doesn't sounds ideal though, won't have helped the car. Automatic cars are basically more complex so it can cost more, but of course it depends on what breaks, if it's related to the gear system etc, so yes it can be true. Corsa parts aren't too expensive compared to other cars tho, which helps.

[@neekolad]

i genuinely dont know if this was a sarcastic or an honest review, but i've had a few laughs if you make some tv show, i would watch it

[@RHanson.]

Haha I think honest, not too sure myself... But thank you!!

[@Hus891]

Hi mate is it a reliable first car ?

[@RHanson.]

Hi mate, yeah it's pretty decent! The best way of describing it is pretty average, it's by no means unrealiable, but you will find other cars to be a bit more reliable on average.

[@Hus891]

@@RHanson. ok , I much prefer the look of a Corsa any day over a Yaris Mk2. I’m aware these cars can have some issues but easy and cheap to fix.

[@RHanson.]

@@Hus891 Yes that's fair enough, I agree! Yeah exactly, generally parts are pretty cheap too for the Corsa which is another plus.

[@Professional_Youtube_Commenter]

oil leak galore and no oil sensor to tell you that the engine is losing all the oil and about to explode.

[@bennthom9929]

What a car

[@RHanson.]

A legend in the flesh

[@cartouchator]

i'd rather go for a 1.1L honda jazz of the same era, same price, more reliable, more economical, same insurance group, bigger.

[@RHanson.]

Fair enough, can't really fault a jazz

[@Nibbler92689]

When i saved enough money im going to sell my corsa d im done with vauxhall.

[@RHanson.]

Fair enough

[@Nibbler92689]

@@RHanson. i had my corsa d 1.2for 3 years now spend almost 3000 euro on maintenance not only that it’s to slow it takes forever to finally reach 60 or 75 miles an hour the steering is horrible in my opinion i think these cars are suitable for moms or grandmothers to go to the shops or drop the kids off at school but other than that i wouldn’t recommend a corsa D for going to work or traveling to other countries. So like i said when im saved enough i will be buying a volvo or a Mercedes but for the youngsters i would recommend a volkswagen golf or a ford focus or a volvo s40.

[@RHanson.]

@user-qs8ix3dn7u Yeah sounds good! And I'd certainly agree with the Golf reccomendation!

@@RHanson. Good luck! I’m heading to university this coming fall as well, it’s both exciting and somewhat scary.

@johnson3231 Thank you! And good luck to you too. I agree 100% it's definitely a bit of both, I figure that's probably good tho, normally scary things are the best things to do (bet gandhi said that at some point!)...
